Did you hear about the latest church sex scandal?  For several years, the Pennsylvania Attorney General has been investigating six Catholic Church dioceses in the state.  According to the 900-page court document, over 300 priests have been accused of sexually assaulting and grooming children in their parishes.  The ringleaders are alleged to have been a “gang of four priests” who worked together.  The report claims that when a priest found a boy he felt was, um, “compliant”, he would give him a gold cross to wear around his neck.  “The crosses were markings of which boys had been groomed for abuse,” says Attorney General Josh Shapiro.  “One boy was forced to stand on a bed in a rectory, strip naked, and pose as Christ on the cross for the priests.”  If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times – nothing good happens in the rectory.

As you probably know, churches are non-profit organizations and are typically granted tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service.  Last week, the IRS granted such an exemption to a new church called the Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft!  The group claims that they “come together to form a congregation of adherents to our female born, lesbian-feminist-based religion beliefs and traditions”.  That all sounds fine and dandy, but the group that formed this “church” is the Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminists!  And it’s exactly what you think it is – and kudos to them for not trying to hide their bigotry.  “Males are not permitted to participate, regardless of how they identify.”  This sounds like it could be a plot point on the new Charmed series – coming soon to The CW.
